Dan leaves in one week to start to bring Shell Belle up North. How far he gets and where it ends up until warmer weather depends on a lot of factors. Crew, weather, repairs, etc. The kids and I will be land based back here Ottawa awaiting the return of our Captain. The boat, once North of the Chesapeake, will be docked in Oswego for the summer. Hopefully after the sale of our house we will be heading south!
A few photos to recap our two months on board Shell Belle in the BVIs. We will return here and onward one day.
Happy boys fishing
Red beetle love
Deck baths, lots of giggles
Girl time
We called her 'the baby turtle'
The 'Foxy Photo' doesn't everyone have one
Finding our sun shade, happy day
Shell Belle aka home
What type of vessel is that, it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Aaron, It's a 1975 Alden Cheoy Lee Offshore Motorsailer, we are the third owners. Tried to attach your blog, couldn't figure it out, will try again. Hope to see you out there:)
ReplyDeleteHello Shell Belle
ReplyDeleteWere you once named Rangoon Lady II and owned by a Mr Salgo from Houston?
If so I sailed on you in 1984 from Piraeus, Greece to Montego Bay via Italy, Spain, Gib, Antigua and BVI - great memories. The boat was skippered by Andy Crawford and as soon a she reached Jamaica Mr Salgo wanted her back in the UK which is when I left for NY - great time and memories. You still look beautiful!!
Hope you're having a great time
Best Wishes
Simon

Hi Shell Belle.
ReplyDeleteI sailed on you as Rangoon lady ll as a child in the 80's. Mr Salgo was my grandfather the boat looks just as I remember. We sailed around Greek islands and also around the UK and Texas coast.
So good to see you looking
